Every image and video in the stock Android ICS Gallery app is displayed twice, how can I fix this?
This only happened a couple of days ago. I know the items themselves are not duplicated because I've checked with QuickPic, Root Explorer and Windows Explorer.
I have a Nexus S running a rooted build of stock 4.0.4. I've tried clearing cache and data of the gallery app to no avail. Any suggestions?
SOLUTION: Go to Settings > Apps > All. Find Media Storage and then Clear Data. Reboot the phone (I had to do it twice) and it will clear your thumbnails, recreate them and put everything back to normal.

nice info and solved!
but be carefull, If I'm not wrong,
clearing this data (Media Storage), also clear your setting for media, for ex: ringtones, etc.

SOLVED - Settings/Wireless & networks - Force closing.. Anyone else experience this?
So I noticed today that every time I try to go into "Wireless & networks" from within the settings menu, I get a force close and can not proceed any further. This means I cannot change any of my wireless settings including bluetooth, wifi, or wireless.
Has anyone else experienced this issue and if so, have you figured out how to fix it? I've already tried wiping the dalvik cache.
I'm using the 1.36.531.6 build, rooted and deodexed. It is android version 2.3.4 with Sense 3.0.
CONCLUSION - DO NOT DELETE NFC.APK.
I'm assuming you have rebooted? You could try and go to settings/applications/all and find "Settings" and delete the cache, which would require you to make any settings changes again.

Yes I've rebooted, deleted the dalvik cache, wiped the cache partition, went into settings/applications and wiped the cache for the settings app and even tried replacing the settings app from a different ROM version and I still persistently have the issue.
I am deleting several APK's from the base ROM before flashing though and perhaps one of those is what is causing my issues?
I suppose I'll try flashing the full ROM again and then remove 1 apk at a time and see if I find the culprit.
Update.. It appears that the NFC app is what I deleted that borked the Wireless Settings menu.
Sooooo.. With that being said.. Don't delete nfc.apk.
I installed yesterday this rom (version 5.2) on my Live with Walkman with stock kernel. It's very cool, but I have some problems with it.
1. Sync with gmail account is incomplete. Everything except the mail in sync. I have notification: "Sync is currently experiencing problems. It will be back shortly." And that in the notification bar still pops up: "Permission Requested for account <my login>@gmail.com." When I click the notification will automatically disappear, and after some time it appears. - This problem already solved.
2. The Walkman application and galleries do not display any files, even though I have plenty of them on the memory card. But when I make screenshot or takes a picture are those already shown. I do not know what I mean.
Thanks in advance for your help .
Try Factory Reset-ing from CWM or Settings... (Had the same problem and solved)
can u view ur files anywhere else? like in PC or with a File Manager???
That normal...just reboot several time and it will be just fine...
you may also try downloading ScanMedia from the PlayStore. It worked for me a few times.
I can view and open images and music in Solid Explorer or Computer. Only in Gallery and Walkman nothing shows .
go to Google Play Store and download Rescan Media ROOT...its free and it will help you rescan all media files on you phone....
Rescan Media Root and ScanMedia didn't help .

reboot after each time you rescan the media....if the problem still persist then reflash will be your last option...

As our friend said : Rebooting will work.... :good:
If did'nt : Reflash
Factory reset helped. Thank you very much :>
I had the same problem and as you say the only way was a factory reset. However I chose instead to use a different ROM. In most cases GB seems to be less buggy.

- goto SETTINGS - apps - all - media storage, clear data
- reboot phone
Swyped from my Samsung Galaxy SII
well that didnt work.
Just used a photo editing software to "auto fix" and saved the pictures and transferred again and its fine
wonder what was wrong with the original files
edit: while the pictures are loading fine. some thumbnails are wrong. sigh (yes i did the media storage data clear and reboot)
gallery on android seems to be the area that gives me the most problems

Option 1.
- use your file manager to browse to DCIM folder then delete the contents of .thumbnail folder. You have to enable hidden folder to see that folder.
- boot to recovery
- wipe cache partition
- reboot phone.
Option 2. (A long lasting solution)
- Download Quickpic from market.
- It's simply better and less troublesome than the Android gallery app.

im going to try option 1
yeah i already have quickpic installed
the thumbnails are fine on it
blah. .thumbnail is already empty
google really needs to work on the their gallery app

Did wipe cache in recovery?
Anyway, this is the last possible solution from me.
- Goto Settings - Apps - All - Gallery, clear data and clear cache
- reboot phone

Hello,
I recently flashed JellyBam ROM and updated from 2.0 > 3.0 > 3.1 > 3.2. I've also tried both the Dorimanx and the Siyah kernels, ensuring that I wipe cache/dalvik before flashing each. Everything had gone swimmingly and the ROM was/is terrific. However, since the latest update it appears that my default messaging application will no longer notify me of new messages (SMS). This doesn't appear to be a problem for anyone else.
I've checked the settings within the application (Notifications box is ticked and a ringtone is selected), and I've also checked the system settings > device > sound > default notification which has a ringtone selected.
Additionally, I have a widget called "Missed it!" installed which changes whenever I get a new SMS, but there is no notification / sound from the phone to acknowledge this.
I've reflashed the ROM after doing a 'wipe cache' and 'wipe dalvik cache' but to no avail. I've also tried to wipe the cache for the app from within the 'manage apps' section.
Any suggestions? Your time is greatly appreciated!
Regards
No ideas?
Bump...
Still nothing? Could someone move the query into the JellyBam thread on the i9100 page then please?
I cannot post in there yet as I haven't made 10 posts.
Download a new messaging app like GoSms.
Thanks for the response.
I used to use GO SMS, but since flashing the new ROM i found the default messaging app and it's theme to be pretty good.
Today, i've tried to do a factory wipe and re-flash the ROM but I used Titanium backup to reinstall my apps and the problem persists.
Im now a fan of whatsapp.Send pics for nowt.....
I also use Whatsapp, but it's still annoying that I cannot get the default messaging app to push notifications.
I am sorry i cannot help you in any way as i dont have a galaxy s2. But you can ask the rom developer to look into your problem.
I've fixed the problem now. Wasn't able to work out what the quick-fix was, so I ended up doing a complete factory wipe and reinstalling apps with Titanium Backup. Managed to download a Samsung App's apk that had "S-memo" so I have managed to save the memo's I had stored previously.
Hey guys,
i need help our here. i am facing a rather odd problem which started yesterday. whenever i tried to open gallery, it says "
Not enough space. Delete unnecessary items such as download softwares, videos and documents."
I have factory reset the device 3 times deleted everything, flashed using ODIN but no avail. Any body has any solution for this?
I am using:
Stock ROM XXMEB5
Stock Kernel
Stock Recovery
EDIT: Finally Solved the Problem. The phone was not resetting properly, so for users facing this problem there are 2 possible solutions:
1. Flash stock rom, goto stock recovery and from there wipe data if CWM does not do it properly (In my case CWM did not do it properly)
2. The other solution, the info i figured out was that it had to do something with a folder in Android/Data directory. Try to delete folders one by one to see if this fixes the error

I recently updated OTA to 4.1.2 and have suddenly got this same problem today, im not technically that great so all i did was save the files i wanted to keep and did a factory reset but nothing has changed. I can open my pictures in Smart Gallery Lock Free but im also having the problem that nothing deteles properly, everything i delete re-appears when i re enter Smart Gallery
I have tried removing the files directly from "My Files" but it will only work on the extSdCard not sdcard0 its says deleted but doesnt go anywhere.
I have looked at your point 2. but i dont know what i can delete without making things worse
Hope somebody can help
